Ingredients

• 1 whole (peeled, cored, and sliced into rings or spears) Fresh pineapple
• 60 ml Dark spiced rum
• 50 g Brown sugar
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 50 g Shredded coconut
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 scoops per serving Optional: vanilla ice cream

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into rings or long spears. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the dark spiced rum, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Place the pineapple slices into the bowl with the rum mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

While the pineapple marinates, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the shredded coconut. Toast the coconut flakes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant (approximately 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside in a small bowl.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the pineapple slices from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and reserve the marinade for brushing.

Step 7

Grill the pineapple slices for 3-4 minutes on each side, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade, until grill marks appear and the pineapple is caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the grilled pineapple from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.

Step 9

Sprinkle the toasted coconut generously over the pineapple slices.

Step 10

For an indulgent addition, serve with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors!
